We are continuing our series on getting to know your church leaders a little bit better. Read along to learn more about Mike Camp, who is our new Tech Ministry Coordinator.

Where were you born, and do you still consider that home, or somewhere else?

I was born and raised in a small town just outside of San Antonio, Texas. Though I call it home when I go to visit, the East Mountains feel more like home to me.

What did you want to be when you grew up – and is that still a dream?

Well, looking through my stuff from kindergarten (my mom saved everything), I guess I wanted to be a fireman or an astronaut. I much prefer sitting next to a fire than running into one, and I’m terribly afraid of heights, so…

What or who was your earliest spiritual influence?

I heard a sermon by Rick Warren on the radio a few months before I met Pastor Frank, so I guess I would have to say that sermon was it.

How and when did Christ call you to Himself?

I think the best phrase I ever heard was in Alcoholics Anonymous: “God led me to AA so AA could lead me to God.” That miracle began October 20, 2019.

What is a scripture you often read or share with others?

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9

What is a special answered prayer you’ve received from the Lord?

Juntos and FH! It’s a bit of long story that I’d be happy to share one-on-one.

What is a blessing and what is a challenge as serving as Tech Ministry Coordinator?

What are your hobbies and how did you get into them?

I really enjoy astrophotography. I was introduced to the hobby by a work mentor many years ago. 

How do you enjoy spending a day off?

I usually enjoy going hiking if I’m caught up on my chores.

What is the perfect meal?

Low saturated fat, plenty of leafy green vegetables, and a reasonable portion of protein. (Just in case my cardiologist reads this!)

Who or what never fails to make you laugh?

Nate Deterding and cat videos.
